The new exterior and interior style of the 2016 Honda Civic is far better than the previous generation of Civics. This was a major consideration in the purchase of my car. The 2016 Civic is also very fun and comfortable to drive. For a Civic, the interior is extremely spacious. The fuel economy was another significant factor in the purchase of my car. The Civic has excellent gas mileage. I typically get around 45 mpg on the highway with the Econ button turned on. I'm very happy with my purchase of the 2016 Honda Civic!

"I've been greatly disappointed by the many, many glitches of the infotainment system in this vehicle"

David»OH»2016 Honda CivicPurchased Jan 2016|Verified

This has been the most disappointing vehicle to own I have ever had (in 25+ years of driving). The electronics simply suck... I have had all sorts of problems with the vehicle... false maintenance minders for an oil change, false brake and other important item failure warnings for no reason, no audiosound at all (fixed more than once, now), loud popping noises that could easily ruin my speakers, false brake warnings with my brakes slamming without my control and without anything in front of me (impossible to reproduce - just give it a couple of months and it'll happen again)... just... disappointing. I don't let people ride with me. I don't trust the car with others' lives.

I've been greatly disappointed by the many, many glitches of the infotainment system in this vehicle. It has been very frustrating and Honda has not been at all helpful. I would not recommend my car to others, and when they point out my new car and want to see it, I blow it off, as I fear I will be embarrassed by one of the car's glitches.

"show how underpowered the entertainment system is"

Daniel»CA»2016 Honda Civic|Purchased Jan 2016|Verified

The infotainment system is one of the worst I've ever used. If hassle free music playing is something required, consider other car brands. As I've stated, the infotainment system is very bad. I am looking forward to purchasing a US Type-R, but if it has the same infotainment system, and/or the software/hardware hasn't been updated, I will no long buy Hondas as my vehicle of choice of preferred vehicle. I've purchased four new Honda in 10 years. Because they were reliable and trusted. But the latest Honda Civic had tarnished that reputation.

Updated on Apr 30, 2016

Overall the quality, styling, performance and economics of the 2016 Civic is great. I absolutely love the new front end design. The LED headlights and taillights are awesome!. The quality of materials is most areas is great, although the lower door panels use a material that is EASILY and PERMANENTLY marred. The new instrument cluster is great, love the techy look (animations when starting up, great color choices). Overall, the vehicle is great, and I enjoy driving it. With one exception: The infotainment center is an absolute atrocity. Being in the software development field, it is absolutely clear that almost no R&D and Q&A went in to the design and implementation of the infotainment system. The system is riddled with infuriating bugs, glitches, and malfunctions.
1) USB, Bluetooth, and Apple CarPlay will fail to load/initialize when starting the vehicle. Resulting in having to disconnect/reconnect devices.
2a) USB, Bluetooth, and Apple CarPlay will fail to continue playing the song previously playing when starting the vehicle.
2b) Required steps for resuming playback after shutting off and turning the vehicle back on are: Navigate to Audio Source screen -> Press Play (I think) -> Press "Next Song" (I think) -> Maybe Press Play again? This results in 9 times out of 10, never getting to continue to play the current song.
3) Apple CarPlay will display a Black Screen on Startup. This will persist indefinitely until the battery is disconnected.
4) USB, Bluetooth music audio will sound distorted, scratchy, and appear to skip if you press "Next Song." It takes several seconds for the system to either catch up or buffer the song.
5) The entire infotainment center will randomly crash, shut down, and restart. One one occasion, an ear-piercing audio squeal proceeded just before the infotainment screen flashed blue several times, after which all personal settings stored in the infotainment system (fuel economy, "At the pump" information, previous locations in the navigation system, etc.) were completely wiped and lost.
6) Cannot type space as a valild character for the Wifi Password.
7) The cpu/memory power of the infotainment system is severely lacking. This is noticable by the slideshow startup of the entertainment system, and probably the reason why the audio sounds distorted, scratchy and appear to skip if you press "Next Song".
The severity of these problems have seriously made me consider trading in the car for another brand. I've been a Honda owner and purchaser since 2006. I have bought four brand new Honda Civics (06, 2012, 2013 Si and now a 2016 Civic Sedan). And over the course of the last 10 years, I have seen a steady decrease in overall reliability and brand image from Honda.
I implore Honda to take this feedback seriously and correct their infotainment system post haste. The software is in dire need of fixing. And the performance of the system needs addressed. I'd even purchase a factory upgrade infotainment system, with a better CPU and more RAM. The infotainment system was designed to be easily replaced.

The entertainment software and hardware is absolutely horrible. It lacks proper processing power. Any time I change a song on my iPod/iPhone/Pandora, the music is scratchy and distorted and take a moment to clean up. When starting the vehicle, the iPod will NOT resume playing the current song. You MUST press play and skip song. Sometimes when starting the vehicle, the entertainment system will get stuck at LOADING the iPod. Switching audio sources, scrolling through song lists, etc. show how underpowered the entertainment system is. PLEASE PROVIDE AN UPGRADED VERSION OF THE ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM. MORE POWERFUL!.

"I certainly appreciate the opportunity to provide feedback on my new car"

Athena»WV»2016 Honda Civic|Purchased Jun 2016|Verified

I certainly enjoy my new Honda Civic even though it is maybe more car than I need technology-wise. I wanted a trustworthy car to take me in to retirement, and my other Civic was a road-running machine but eight years old. The fuel economy is superior to my previous Civic, and I do appreciate that. It is also has better pick-up with the turbo, which is helpful for back road and interstate driving. This purchase was a smart one for me. I know I can depend on the brand and have had good interactions with Hagerstown Honda.
In terms of improvements, here are a few suggestions:
1. The interior fabric at the doors, in the door handle area, seems inferior to my '08 Civic. It is thin and smudges way too easily for a new car and has a dull appearance already.
2. The driver's seat is not comfortable for me even though I am not heavy or tall. The power seat should be available with the turbo regardless of the seat fabric. I did not want the additional cost of the leather, but a car as special as the turbo should have a power seat included since this model is not bottom of the line. The seat needs to sit higher and flatter with the back rest less curved. Honda seats are a detraction for me.
3. The heating/cooling controls are not helpful in their current position. I would rather have the radio controls there. It is awkward to scroll the sound on the screen or on the steering wheel. Often I am turning the steering, and the controls are upside down! Also having to touch the screen to adjust the sound distracts from safe driving, and the same is true to adjust the climate controls on the screen.
4. The AM/FM radio reception is inferior to XM. Although I enjoyed the free service the first few months, I do not believe in having to pay for radio; therefore, I did not renew the service. It truly is rather expensive. When I listen to broadcast, the stations are not as clear as my previous Civic radio; this, of course, is rather disappointing.
5. The handling seems a little loose with so much extra power.
6. Last, I don't like having to turn on the engine if I have to roll up windows or close the sun roof.
I certainly appreciate the opportunity to provide feedback on my new car. The Civic is a tremendous car!

The new Civic is sporty, zippy, and fun to drive. The turbo is very noticeable compared to my '08. The body style is eye-catching. So far, the gas mileage is looking good for a combination of city and highway. I have two concerns: the interior fabric is not very substantial compared to the '08. I'm not sure if it will hold up for 8+ years. Please redesign your seats. They are truly uncomfortable and sit too low to the floor, even with the manual adjustment. I am neither fat nor short. The radio controls are not convenient on the steering wheel or the touchscreen. Why did you put the Heat/AC controls on a knob? The AM/FM radio is of a lesser quality than my '08. I can't get my regular stations clearly, and I don't believe in paying for radio stations. I am very disappointed.

"I love this Honda even more than the last"

Daniel»TX»2016 Honda Civic|Purchased Nov 2015|Verified

I love my new Civic. I have specific issues that bring down my overall scores. The front driver seat is not fitted well. I find myself having to angle my body just right to avoid the wing under my left leg from pinching the back of my thigh. The engineers for the steering wheel adjustments don't seem to have communicated with the instrument panel designers, because when I have my steering wheel in the most comfortable spot, allowing the best front view of the road, I can't see the speed I'm going or the economy LED indicator bar. The front passenger window fails to lower at times, I have to press various window up and down buttons to kick it into gear, indicative of poor wiring or electronic circuit. The radio, hands-free, A/C system is a mess. The auto-A/C should default to internal air-cycling—I hate flipping it to auto and getting a whiff of the diesel in front of me or skunks. I rarely use it now. Not having a touchscreen on the display is a nuisance, especially with the current button controls and selections lacking intuitiveness. The steering wheel buttons are better, but I've declined or hung up on numerous calls—is it too much to color code the button that hangs up red and the one to answer green? The symbols alone are not clear. The fact you have to program each number into your system even though you are plugging your iPhone in via USB or Bluetooth is annoying. Why can't it access your contacts and decipher the pronunciation of the contacts like Siri. Plastic door handles really negate the classy feeling of this car, all other physical elements are there, then you reach for the handle and it feels cheap. I will not be surprised if one of them breaks over the next few years. The floor mats in front being fastened to the carpet seemed like a good idea, but in actuality, they seem to promote pulling at the carpet and raising it up in those locations. Fastening to a metal plate under the carpet would probably make more sense. Something to avoid pulling up the carpet.
These all seem like oversights that I did not see on my 2005 Civic (except the plastic handles), but the car itself, the bones of it, the engine and handling are all so great, that I can excuse the poor design and implementation of the above items. I'm really learning to love the storage/armrest. I find the sliding design and removable cupholder to be rather genius. It has allowed many configurations to suit my needs, including over-sized cups and the ability to have a small tissue box hidden in the arm rest. This is a love of mine. I appreciate trying to fit so many options into a standard model of car, but feel like concentrating on doing some of the big ones right would be more important. I'd choose a better hands-free setup and use experience over auto-A/C for instance. If you can't implement it in the 100% quality Honda way, implement what you can perfect instead.

"My 15-year-old Honda trade-in had better sound quality"

Elizabeth»CA»2016 Honda Civic|Purchased Jul 2016|Verified

Safe choice, good reputation, reliable, meets overall family need, economical, service easy to find, maintenance is not a burden, generally good mileage, good value for cars of this size and type, not the most comfortable, luxurious, or high performing, not the car to create a prestige impression.

Updated on Nov 3, 2016

Front fender/bumper doesn't have enough ground clearance. I live in mountains, fender is too low, gets little dents and scratches beneath. Even low parking curbs don't clear. Should be built of sturdier material like old Hondas—I never dented or scratched hard rubber. Interior fabric on armrests, console, door interiors, headliner is very thin and a poor choice. It is going to wear quickly and make the car look old before its time. I hate all black interior, but that was all I could get. Radio static on local FM is terrible, but I have not had time to get it into service. New cars should have excellent sound in 2016—that should be a no-brainer. My 15-year-old Honda trade-in had better sound quality.

Originally Reviewed on Sep 17, 2016

I like my car very much, and I really had to get a new car at that time. We have had four Hondas and been overall happy with the brand. It was really a foregone conclusion that we would buy it, but I did research anyway some other car. But I have problems that did not exist in my previous 15 yr old Honda. First: I bought silver car w/ black interior. The black plush-textured interior absorbs so much light so I cannot see to find anything when I am in the driver seat (console, glove compartment, passenger side and seat, door side compartments are like black holes and USB PORTS are invisible). I would never willingly choose black interior, but it was the only color available on the models I looked at. Change it to mid-gray. I bought gray seat covers in order to see my purse, notebook, phone and other items that I typically carry in passenger seat. Second: The fabric cover on the door and the console will wear thin and look terrible in a short period of time. Armrests, console and side of doors always take a lot of abrasion. There was even a visible abrasion mark when I bought the car and it only had four miles on it. This seems like a serious miscalculation to me. If the fabric cover is supposed to seem more luxurious it is a huge miss—it will soon look cheaply made. Third, my FM radio has a lot of static, which was not a problem on our other Hondas. I will take it to service to see if there are loose wires—it's very disappointing. I live 30 minutes from nearest dealer where I bought the car so I haven't had a chance to get over there yet to check it out. Finally, there was no printed manual so I could look things up. The quick start guide gets you off the lot but it is otherwise inadequate. I sent for the printed manual but have not received it, now about 6-7 weeks later. I think this is very poor, very slow service. A computer w/ disk drive is rarely accessible: people use tablets and new laptops don't have disk drive. Wifi is not cheaply and widely available except to people who pay heavy data fees to be on their phone all day, which is not the case for me. Honda should at least OFFER a printed owner manual at point of sale and should also OFFER buyer a feature demo before they drive away. Yesterday I bumped the right side mirror out of position, and I couldn't get it back into correct position—very unsafe for the rest of my one-hour drive in commute traffic. FYI: I didn't buy the Civic w/navigation b/c of higher price, which I did not feel was justified.

"It doesn't scuff up as easily, and I like the placement of everything"

Jodi»MN»2016 Honda Civic|Purchased Jun 2016|Verified

I am not a huge fan of the black stripe of the gray cloth interior. I think it's hard to clean the floor mats because it holds on to more hair and other debris and yes, I do use a professional grade vacuum for cars. I would prefer if the interior side panels and middle console was all leather and not made of cloth on the EX in general. I liked the cloth used in the 2014 Honda CRV EX a lot more than this type of cloth. There's something soft and durable about the type in the CRV. The cloth in my Civic doesn't feel and look as nice. The dash where the IP is is also hard to keep clean and seems clunky. I wish it was more refined and less plastic-y looking. I really expected a lot more from my sound system for an EX-T. I think the sound is average and I feel like I'm listening to music in a base model. There are some things you could get rid of in order to make room for improving the sound system. I am not sure what at this point but I'm sure after reading a gazillion results from your customers you can find things people in general could not care less about or are less crazy about. I didn't care about having the Internet connection thing in my car, I don't care as much on the Voice Commands. For how awesome the Civic is, you should be able to cruise in it and have fun with the music blasting and bumping somewhat. Please change this because listening to the music is one of the most important things you do in the car besides driving it.
Overall the interior design is great. The materials used for the most part are great. It doesn't scuff up as easily, and I like the placement of everything. The silvery color accents are nice, and it's nice that not everything is a black color, I LOVE GRAY!
Whatever you guys use to build the exterior black paneling around the doorside windows drives me nuts. It seems like I barely touch it, and it has marks or prints on it or it's discolored. After I clean my car, I have to take a soft towel and buff it out a little in case it doesn't look clean. Call me crazy, but I love my cars, and I take care of them.
I spent most of this box filling out negatives but I do want you to know I love this year's Civic and I'm only trying to help make it meet 100% across the board. :) I would say it's the best car I've ever owned. My experience with Honda has been with a 2003 Honda Civic EX 2dr, 2011 Honda Civic EX, 2014 Honda CRV EX, and this baby, 2016 Honda Civic EX-T.
My bf bought the Touring. The leather is great. The sound is just fine. The Honda Sensing is super amazing, I am a wee bit jealous. Just thought I'd let you all know.

There are a few things I would like to change with my vehicle. I'm picky so please don't be surprised. Also, don't get me wrong, I do love my car. I would prefer the black cloth side door rest and middle console made from the same cloth be made with leather even though it's not leather interior at least for my model (EX-T with cloth seats). I would prefer not to have manual seats. With the EX-T, I also would have expected much better and more premium sound. It sounds somewhat basic to me compared to other vehicles at the EX level and up. My previous leased vehicle was a 2014 Honda CRV, and I absolutely hated the hard plastic material used inside the interior especially the interior door paneling. It was crap and no matter how careful I was, it scratched and dinged easily. I would say Honda stepped up their quality in that area because I don't see this same issue with the Civic.

"As far as performance and gas mileage, the 2016 is better"

Lenora»NY»2016 Honda Civic|Purchased Dec 2015|Verified

I am very disappointed in the Honda Civic 2016. My previous 2013 Honda Civic was excellent. The dashboard panel was located in a better place than the 2016. I was able to receive text messages. I cannot get text messages in the 2016. (I have the same phone as I did with the 2013) The bluetooth in the 2013 was easier to operate and better. I was able to have a choice of wallpaper in the 2013 but not in this vehicle. Also the passenger seat is very low and there is no availability to boost it up. As a passenger in this car, it feels like I am sitting on a slant. I don't like the location of the truck opening. I would rather have it on the floor instead of on the door. As far as performance and gas mileage, the 2016 is better. However, I wish I still had the 2013!

I am very disappointed in the updated features added to my 2016 Honda Civic. I would never use the brake-hold (waste of a feature). The passenger seat is lower than my previous 2013 Civic. I wish the passenger seat had a "pump up" feature. I don't like the speedometer read out (preferred the 2013 version). I don't like the emergency brake in this car. I prefer the old fashion emergency brake feature. I also feel I should be able to just put air in my tires and not go through a calibration list. I do feel the ride and pick up on the 2016 is much improved.

I do not like: 1. the air conditioning system. When it is very hot outside and I use the AC, the back window where the cold air is coming out becomes foggy. 2. touch screen technology takes my eyes off the road more than a button that was on my previous Honda 3. the keyless entry can frequently be a pain! 4. when I put fuel in the tank, I feel I have to support the fuel handle because the heavy weight of the nozzle seems too much for the plastic tank 5. I don't like not being able to open the back door without first opening the front door 6. I still feel the AC system continues to need improvement.

"I would let them know that there are glitches in my vehicle with Bluetooth technology and CarPlay"

Betty»CA»2016 Honda Civic|Purchased Nov 2015|Verified

I would let them know that there are glitches in my vehicle with Bluetooth technology and CarPlay. I would also let them know it does not have a glove compartment lock, which is crucial because I've already had my registration stolen at a car wash and had to repurchase it. I would also let them know they don't sell the glove box lock separately so they are out of luck. One other thing is that the doors placement and trunk placement does not fit snugly so if it rains or I'm getting the car washed water seeps into my car. I've tried to get it handled by Honda, but they can't or won't do anything about it. Otherwise I love everything else about this car. Hopefully the next model has these issues fixed. I purchased two Honda Civic Touring's. One is black but I settled for it and did not want that color.

"Secondly, the fabric used on the arm rest and interior door handles was a poor choice"

Hilary»MD»2016 Honda Civic|Purchased Dec 2015|Verified

Overall, I love my new car! Honda did a great job re-doing the 2016 civic! However, I see two major issues...
The first being the fact that a month and a half after purchasing the car brand new, the entire electrical system went out. The main screen and dash board screen flashed on and off, with no response to touch. When it flashed on, there were lines and distorted images displayed. I contacted the dealer to have it repaired and they said they would "take a look" but that they would not offer a rental car. I could not go without a vehicle because of work so I chose to continue driving it. BIG MISTAKE!!! --there was no way to control the heating/cooling system, radio, monitor my speed or anything else. The problem randomly one day fixed itself and went back to noral, but that was about 2 weeks later.
Secondly, the fabric used on the arm rest and interior door handles was a poor choice. It does not withstand every day wear and tear well. I have only had my car for a couple months, I clean it regularly, and I can already see the daily use marks on the inside handle from opening and closing the driver door. I fear what it will look like in a couple years despite my efforts to keep it clean. I do not think the use of fabric on an interior handle that gets so much use (driver and passenger doors) is very practical.

I LOVED my 2013 Honda Civic and had all the emotional connections a manufacturer would want you to have to their object. The same model 2016 has removed almost all of the thing I loved about the 2013 and in my esteem have gone backward in form, function, progressiveness and edginess. There's so much gone (e.g. the "menu" used to be WAY more informational and more options, such as average fuel and range with current fuel, maintenance info, door setup, all gone now; trip counter is now manual instead of digital; no valet key; cigarette lighter socket is EXTREMELY difficult (behind this huge panel); smaller cup holders; used to read out text messages if phone was connected, to name a few). The 2016 is like three steps backward, instead of any steps forward and I have no connection to this model other than a vehicle to get me from place to place.

"Adjustable driver's side lumbar support and the programmable controls for the garage door opener (HomeLink"

Terry»CA»2016 Honda Civic|Purchased Dec 2015|Verified

First off, I love the car. We purchased the Touring edition. Only a little disappointed that there are a couple things on our 2013 Accord that are not on the new car. Adjustable driver's side lumbar support and the programmable controls for the garage door opener (HomeLink?). The only issue so far with the new Civic is the steering wheel. Honda is obviously using subpar materials for the steering wheel. We purchased the vehicle on 12/31/15. After the first month the steering wheel was starting to show signs of shredding & peeling in several places. My husband took it in and they replaced it "as a courtesy." They said that it was being caused by our rings, and it was now our problem if it were to happen again. Within three weeks of being fixed there is one spot on the steering wheel that is shredded again. My rings do not have any rough edges on them & in order for my rings to have caused the damage, my hand would have had to have been contorted in a manner that I wouldn't even have been able to drive. I do not put lotion or hand sanitizer on my hands prior to driving. I'm very disappointed in Honda for not standing behind their product that has an obvious defect.

I noticed a dent in the door just below the window after washing it for the first time. The dealer should have noticed it. The car surges sometimes starting out and almost always when driving. The dealer forced me into taking what something off the lot rather than order what I wanted and was not knowledgeable about technical details and availability of pick ups.

While I like the look of the Honda Civic 4-door Sedan (2016), I have to say that living in Michigan winters I have some issues with the design. It is very angular and water tends to stay in some places because there is nowhere for it to drain to, thus freezing. This includes hood and trunk areas. Also, water freezes in window bases on all four doors and cannot open windows on cold days. I love most everything else about the car, but I find these issues to be very bothersome. Oh, one other thing, slush seems to accumulate in a greater amount in the wheel wells, more so than any of my other Honda vehicles.

There are a couple little things that are annoying that I have to live with. The is no volume know it is touch sensitive. There is also no knob or physical button for climate fan control. There is a knob to adjust the temperature but to change the fan speed you push a button and wait for the screen to show the fan speed options. The other little annoy things that the radio turns off as soon as you push the engine off. I wish the radio would stay in until I open the door to get out the car like the light do.

"I do not understand though why the vehicle does not have an integrated garage door opener and electronic controls for the trip ..."

The vehicle has an abundance of technology features. The driving and safety features were important to my wife because the vehicle will eventually become my son's car when he begins driving in six years. I do not understand though why the vehicle does not have an integrated garage door opener and electronic controls for the trip meter.

"The only problem I have is the design of the key"

Catherine»CT»2016 Honda Civic|Purchased Dec 2015|Verified

I really like my new Honda Civic. The only problem I have is the design of the key. The button for the trunk open is so sensitive that frequently when unlocking the door or turning the key in the ignition to start the vehicle, the trunk opens. It is very annoying to have to undo the seatbelt, get out of the car, and close the trunk. This has happened to me too many times. I hope they will redesign the key.

"Love the hands-free link to cellphone, comfort control settings easy to figure out"

The middle console is too tall and big & the change area is very hard to reach. Cupholders in rear seat area not very functional—have to tilt cup to fit in door holder. Love the hands-free link to cellphone, comfort control settings easy to figure out.
